Instead, I would deliver content on the spot and depending on the interaction with students, the details written on the white-board would form the material for students to take down. I would then highlight to students that their set of notes are most unique to the lesson they just had. I find that such a practice effective thus far. Thanks. Cheers, Wen Shih Hi,

I suggest that you use the approach pioneered by Tony Buzan, and that is to use mind maps. Teach your child how to do mind maps. It is not only fun but also concise and effective and a real time saver when it matters most, that is, when he needs to refer to them for revision. Refer to the many books by Tony Buzan on the subject. Make sure you follow the rules for doing mind maps. They are quite distinct from webbing and concept webbing which some writers also call mind maps. But Tony Buzan is the originator of it. So refer to the guru himself. Thanks for the question, Julie.
